The Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing (VPAC) is Victoria’s
peak HPC organisation, and Linux based clustering has become the mainstay
of our HPC facilities.

As VPAC’s Deputy System’s Manager I will be taking you on a tour of the
clustering technologies we use and how Linux and Free/Open Source software
helps us meet the needs of our users (and where it doesn’t). Finally,
we will take a peek at what promise future technologies may hold for
our organisation.
